Weight loss super tips

Note to self: I going to have a ball writing this edition.

You got to admit there is nothing sexier than a round butt.  There is something about curves that is sexier than straightlines.  Going back to my high School geometry, I’m going to go ahead and formulate the Beltranian Law of Sexiness: All curves are sexier than any straight line.  You don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you.

I’ll begin my proof by stating the Beltranian Postulate of Sexiness, which says, ” All men and women prefer their sexual partners to have round butts.” I know this to be a fact and I have proved it through various observations.  Every time a guy or a girl with a perfect butt walks down the street, the men or women around him or her will bite their lower lips as a sign of “Hold me back or I will bite it.”  Believe me  I know, I haven’t missed an episode of Lie to Me.

This postulates as well as others like, “not all men and women are genetically gifted when it comes to having a round perfect butt“, and “having a round perfect butt will give you a better chance of landing a sexual partner” that have been formulated thanks to years of careful observation (I began this study around my teen years), have led me to the conclusion that:

“ALL MEN AND WOMEN WANT TO HAVE A ROUND AND PERFECT BUTT”.

Why? I don’t really have an answer, but I just guess it gives you something to hold onto for those rough rides.  It also gives you a good chance of being famous with little talent (e.g Jennifer Lopez), or going out with tons of pro athletes and rappers (e.g Kim Kardashian).

Taking all this into account I introduce to you the Perfect Butt edition of Fit Clicks.

I Want A Perfect Butt Program of the Day

I know of at least 4 perfect butt programs that have awesome glute exercises, but today I’m only going to show you one of them.  Now don’t think I’m holding back, because I’m not.  I just don’t want to saturate your head with tons of information, which eventually lead you to not take action.

These are just some of the exercises and workouts you will find in the Gluteus to the Maximus program.  Fell free to try the workout out.

Perfect Butt Male Models of the Day

No decent picture to put on here (Sorry Girls).  The one I had found was taken down for some reason.

It is not easy to find male model pictures with perfects for various reasons: 1) I’m not into that; 2) Most of them are Gay Porn; 3) not that many sites appear on Google.  Anyhow, I was not about to leave my female readers without something to waste their time on, so I found this thread on a forum that has tons of hunks for you to entertain yourselves with.

Perfect Butt Female Model of the Day

Vida Guerra is a perfect example of how you can become famous for having a perfect round butt.  Like all the great ones, she got teased about in in school, and now she is in the big leagues.  She has dated Jeremy Shockey, and is desired by men all over the world.

She became famous when her boyfriend took some pictures of her and sent them to some magazine.  Here is the Gallery to some of her pictures.

Big Butt Music Video of the Day

I can’t think of another song more representative of the Beltranian Law of Sexiness than Sir Mix a lot’s ” Baby Got Back“.  I know you know the lyrics so don’t feel embarrassed and sing along (I know I will).

Big Butt Music Video of the Day II

Since the last video really doesn’t show much back, I had to include Sisqo’s Thong Song. Girls, I tried finding music videos featuring guys with cute butts, but to tell you the truth, there ain’t to many of them (I didn’t look to hard either).

If you have ever worked out at high intensitys and woken up with every muscle in your body aching, then you have expierienced Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).   DOMS is characterized by stiffness and tenderness in the muscles, which some people love (like me), and others hate.  This soreness is caused by the eccentric phase of exercise.  The eccentric phase in a dumbell curl, for example, is when you find yourself lowering the weigh (same goes for pullups, pushups, and squats).  The pain usually occurs within the first 24 or 72 hours (I usually feel it 24hrs after) after you finished working out.

Some people say that you shouldn’t train if you are sore, others say you should.  I believe you should and can, as long as you do something different than what you did the day before.  I personally believe that getting back to training will help you relief some of the pain, plus you will continue to grow muscle and lose fat.

Here are a few things you can do:

1. “Active” Recovery with Intu-Flow. Is usually what I do if I’m sore all over.  I choose to do some mobility drills from Scott Sonnon’s Intu-Flow program.  Depending on how sore I feel my sessions may go from 10-15 min.  Getting those joints moving will help you fight the soreness, and help your muscles and joints recover faster.

2. Change the intensity.  If you got sore will lifting a lot of weight and doing little reps, then lower the weight and increase the reps.  This will help you continue training while you work different muscle fibers.

3. Supplement with Omega 3 fatty Acids.  Omega 3 fatty acids are a precursor to prostoglandins which are powerful hormone like substances that help fight inflammation and improve blood flow.  Supplementing with this oil has been proven to help patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, Crohn’s disease, among other inflammatory diseases.

In a study published recently by the Journal of Sports Medicine a group of scientists discovered that ingesting Omega 3 fatty acids for one week  reduced clinical markers of localized inflammation as measured 48 hours after eccentric arm curl exercise.

This is how they did it:

“We tested the hypothesis that omega-3 supplementation reduces inflammation that is induced by eccentric arm curl exercise. Healthy adult men and women (n=11; 35±10 y) performed eccentric biceps curls on
two occasions, once after 14d of dietary omega-3 restriction (control trial) and again after 7d of 3,000 mg/d omega-3 supplementation (omega-3 trial). Before and 48 h after eccentric exercise, signs of inflammation was assessed by measuring soreness ratings, swelling (arm circumference and arm volume), and temperature (infrared skin sensor).”

The results showed a 15% less soreness in people that took omega 3 compared to those that didn’t.

Omega 3 has also shown to increase insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, thus helping fat loss and diabetes prevention.

Dosage: I recommend 3000 mgs a day, but I typically recommend more, in the range of 1-1.5 grams per body fat percentage point, which can be much as 45 grams—that’s right, 45,000 mgs a day.  Anyway, before to start taking it you should consult it with your physician.

Habit I Must Adopt of the Day.

According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition a while back (1980) garlic and onions help reduces lipid synthesis and influences glycogen metabolism in the liver of rats.  In English that means that it helps reduce the production of fat and lower blood sugar levels.

This eventually leads me to say that you must eat garlic and onions.  They are not only good for weight loss, but good for your heart.  Yes, they are bad for your breath, but hell they can’t be good for everything.

I personally eat garlic in almost all my meals except breakfast, I just love the taste.  I know some people that are allergic to it, but if you are not you must definitely include this food in your diet.

Training Technology of the Day

I got my first pair of clubbells a about 2 months ago and my training way of viewing my strength changed completely. I wrote a post a couple months go on clubbells (read it here).  One thing I love about clubbells is how they improved my overall strength.  I don’t care how much you can bench press, clubbells will make you feel like a little girl when you try them.  The constant change in center of mass is something you will never find in your typical machines or dumbells.  If you are up for a challenge you can get them at RMAX International.

Coach of the Day

Scott Sonnon is by far the best coach I have found on the web.  He is so good I have decided to invest around 1K on getting the chance to certify myself as a CST instructor.  Scott is a 4 gold medal winner in various martial arts.  He was the first American to teach the Russian Spetsnaz.  This is a great honor considering Russians don’t think very highly of Americans (had to do with a little something called the Cold War).

Scott’s focus towards fitness is something you have never seen before.  His methods of training actually translate to real life situations.  That is why he trains fire fighters, police officers, military (Israeli Special Forces) etc.  This is no functional training like Cross Fit, this Tactical training where your body learns how to transition from one movement to the other like we do in real life.  If you want to look at some of his programs you can go to RMAX International, or you can read my reviews about some of his programs.

Hot Male Model of the Day

Ladies turn in this edition so I present to you Obi Obadike.  I know, I suck at choosing male models.  True be told I don’t spend as much energy searching them as I do their female counter parts.  If you don’t think Obi is that hot, you have to handed to him for having a fit bod. Just how ripped can a man get?  As I’ve said in past issues I would love for you to give me suggestions. Here are more Obi pictures.

This is a pretty advanced workout, because of the complexity and strength requirements of some of exercises.  The man in the video is Scott Sonnon creator of the TACFIT programs, and one of the best coaches I know. Enjoy and don’t injure yourself try to do this workout.

Good Habit You Must Adopt of the Day

Stop eating carbs past 4 o’clock pm.  The only exception should be if you train late in the afternoon.

Why? You ask.

Carbohydrates are our main energy source.  They are the first thing our body burns when we train.  After a grueling workout your muscle energy reserves are depleted. If they are not fed something they will enter what is called a catabolic state (muscle break down).  SO in order to create an anabolic state (muscle build up) you must feed your muscle some carbohydrates and protein within a 2 hour window after your last rep.

On the other side, if you don’t train your muscle energy reserves WON’T be depleted, and they won’t require the energy.  If you happen to feed it some high energy foods like carbs, guess what is going to happen to that excess energy? That’s right.  Your going to store it here:

Ok. So why 4 o’clock and not 5 or 6?  4 o ‘clock is usually when most people go out for an afternoon snack before leaving work, and when most physical activity seems to cease.  Usually after 4 o’clock most people won’t be engaging in intense physical activity which means they won’t be needing extra fuel.   If your day ends a little later, go a head and push the time a little further.

Your late afternoon meals should mostly be constituted by protein, fat, and tons of vegetables.  Avoid potatoes, rice, bread, and other carbs at all risks.  A piece o salmon with a nice salad would be a much better choice.

Speaking of not eating carbs…

 Stupid Fitness Video of the Day

This video just brought back a lot of memories, of when I used to watch In Living Color.  Most of the actors in this show turned out to be “good comedians”.  Heck, even J-Lo used to be one of the Fly Girls.

Music Video that will get Your Ass off the Couch of the Day

This song is part of the Fast and Furious 5 soundtrack.  It’s preformed by Don Omar featuring Lucenzo. As you can tell I saw the movie yesterday and liked it a lot.  Turn your speakers on pump up the volume and get ready to sweat.

In a study published by the Journal of Obesity in February 2011 it was shown that obese men entering their adulthood doubled their chances of dying compared to men with normal weight.  For those of you who might not know obese men are those that have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 31 kg m⁻²  .

The data was taken from 1946-1977 and covered 362,200 young men that presented themselves to the Danish military service.  All obese men were taken into the study, and a random 1% of the remaining were used as the control group.  The age of the young men in the study had a median age of 19.  They were all followed until 2007 and mortality rates were compared using a Cox regression.

The proportions surviving from age 18 to 80 years are described by the Kaplan–Meier plot in Figure 4. The figure illustrates that the obese were followed until 80 years of age, whereas the reference groups were followed until 90 years of age. Thus, we were able to estimate the difference in mortality between the obese and the reference groups until
80 years of age. The figure shows the shorter life expectation in the obese group compared with both the control cohort
and those with the lowest mortality in this population.  At age 70 years, about 70% in either of the reference groups
versus only about 50% of the obese were expected to be alive. The plot also shows that the median survival proportion
(0.5) was reached about 8 years earlier in the obese than in either of the reference groups.

In conclusion we can say that young men who enter adulthood as obese have more than twice the risk of mortality compared with the mortality observed in the underlying population.

This is a cry out to all parents.  I know you want to please your kids and avoid conflict by feeding them what they like, but they don’t know what is good for them.  I know there is nothing a parents fears most than seeing their child sick.  If you are looking for advice you can go search through my blog, or consult with any of the experts I recommend.

Good Habit You Must Adopt of the Day

I decided to change the Tip of the Day section to this one .  If you had one of these tips everyday or every week to your lifestyle I will assure you weight loss. Today’s good habit is…Eat vegetables.  I know everybody knows this tip, and that it is pretty stupid, but it is unbelievable how many people DON’T FOLLOW IT!!!

Vegetables are low caloric and highly nutritious food.  They provide us with tons of vitamins and minerals that we need to stay healthy.  I’m sure you already know this, so your problem might not be in the ignorance category, but in the ” they taste like crap” category.  This is why I’m going to let you in on a couple of tips to help them taste better for you.

1. Squeeze or pour lemon juice on them.  Lemon juice helps eliminate the oxalic acid that gives green vegetables that bitter taste.
2. Soups:  Put a bunch of vegetables like broccoli, carrots, spinach, onions and garlic in a blender.  Add salt and pepper for taste.  Use carrots or squash to make them sweeter.  I also like to sprinkle some shredded on them for taste.
3. Dressings:  I’m not talking about the Ranch dressings you buy at the supermarket, I’m talking about homemade dressings.  Use Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey mix them together for a great dressing.
4. Add Crunchy things: Nuts go great with salads.  Sprinkle some peanuts, almonds, pistachios, or brazilian nuts to give your salads more crunch and flavor.

Program of the Day

I love football season. It gives me a reason to like Sundays and even Mondays.  Even though my team (the Dolphins) gives me very little to cheer about, I guess I just love to torture myself thinking they can actually win.  I’m not going to whine about them, I do enough of that on Twitter.  If you happen to be a football player, have a son that plays, coach, or you just like agility drill like me, well today I’m going to introduce to you the Nike SPARQ  website.  SPARQ stands for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, and Quickness.  Here you will find some of the best trainers and some of the drills they use to create beasts like Adrian Peterson.  If you want to improve your vertical jump go here.
